If you’ve ever played sport or perhaps acted in a theatrical production, you know how important it is to have a coach or a director on the sidelines taking in the bigger picture and guiding you to improve. That’s exactly what an interview coach can do for you.
Except the stakes here might be more important. The job you do impacts your life and wellbeing in many ways, so you want to be sure that you make the most of opportunities, as well as making choices that enhance your lifestyle.
Reframe the interview
Interviews are a great opportunity to understand more about the organisation you want to work for. Of course, the prospective employer is checking that you have the right skills and attributes to fulfil the role. However, reframing the interview as a conversation can help you conquer some of your nerves too. This is your chance to learn whether you think you can see yourself working in the role for the organisation.
Develop your skills and confidence
Working with an interview coach helps you learn and develop the skills you need to present yourself in the best possible light so that if you are offered the position, you have the choice of whether to accept it or not. This isn’t about arrogance or ego; it’s helping you to make the best decisions for your future.
Understanding how the interview process works and what interviewers are looking for helps to differentiate you from other candidates and means you will leave a lasting impression. Even in a small field of candidates, an employer may choose to make no offers because the quality of these applicants is low. Remember the employer also has a choice in this process too.
By using the skills you have learnt in coaching, you can make yourself stand out and receive that offer. So just like sports or theatre, your coaching experience can enhance your confidence and interview performance and move you towards the job that brings you greater fulfillment.
